Michael Arrington has a post up talking about his tablet computer, called the CrunchPad, that they are designing and building with the help of their readers.  It’s an open, public project that is getting great results (from what I can tell).  Robert Scoble comments on it here and raises a point that I think is great.  If building electronic gadgets becomes easy enough, won’t everyone jump in, including individuals?  It may seem totally absurd to us now, but in ten years or less we will see devices being designed, produced, branded and sold in the same way that people now build and use web sites.  I’m not saying everyone will do it, I’m just saying it will be that common.  It will be normal.  So Scoble asks if Techcrunch is now an electronic gadget brand?  My answer is absolutely.  My only question now is, Robert, what do you want to build ?
